Introducing Rotman Review

Last week an email circulated around the Rotman community: Karen Christensen of Rotman Magazine was looking for volunteers to write about their experiences participating in school events and classes. Though most blogs I read online are uninteresting and comprise of posts mostly describing what the author had eaten that morning for breakfast, I felt that there were a few things I could mention that people would be interested in. When a colleague mentioned how useful he had found a blog from a previous year's student, creating Rotman Review became an easy decision.

I admit - it's already two weeks into the semester and a dozen events have happened. I'll try my best to capture as much of these events as I can remember, and would appreciate any help, whether through comments or over email. Any suggestions about topics to write about would help as well. Since it is impossible to attend all of the socials and events that Rotman offers, I will be glad to post other people's reviews. This goes especially for Women in Management Association events, for obvious reasons.

The downside of starting a blog where I mention the Rotman name is that I have to be extremely selective with how and what I write. As a student, I get access to all sorts of interesting material such as previous year's quizzes, etc. Obviously I do not want to get myself in trouble, however, I will try to drop hints where I can and expect people to follow up via email asking me to elaborate about what I write. As well, I will try to leave personal opinion and happenings as much out of my writing as possible. I understand that most people wont care and it would be more constructive to write one longer post per week explaining my feelings rather than include it in every post. We all know how busy MBA students are (read: short attention span).

Hope you enjoy this blog and hope to see some contribution.
